Curing LR

szogun · 02-24-2004, 12:08 PM

Hi My LFS has a nice LR and its cheap I want to buy it
before its gone can I cure it myself? I have a 50gal container but no skimmer

I can put a airstone in there although I dont know if its going to be of any help
what you think?

Ya sure. Or you could just put a power head in there with a heater. Have the PH air intake hose drawing air and away you go.
This will also give you a chance to inspect and get ride of any unwanted hich hickers.

Only if it's mine LOL. No anway yes you could do it without a skimmer, I don't but you can. Also what does the rock look like and how much are you picking up it may be tank cured already.
